Post Right Wing looniness here

For my part, I watched Temple once in the theater. Never have watched it a second time.

The runaway mine train jump was just absurdly beyond my willingness to suspend disbelief.

The entire series is full of things absurdly beyond belief. I don't recall one action scene that is believable. We would all die almost 100% of the time.

Well, hey, the snowflakes that think little boys should become little girls believe it, just like other absurdly beyond belief stuff.

I think you could say that about a lot of action movies. Freaking Rambo was taking out a large contingent of soldiers that no man could survive through.

I agree when it goes WAY beyond
But I do go to movies to be entertained and understand sometimes things in movies aren't too real but are entertaining

I actually didn't mind the prequels. But the last 3 were atrocious. It was basically okay until Disney took over. The one saving grace is Dave Filoni. He makes Star Wars stories that are true to the spirit of it. He doesn't add woke stuff.

My issue with the prequels is that the acting is poor in some key areas. Specifically, I think Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman could have done a better job. (I think several other actors in the movies were pretty good.) I also think the stories in the first two often didn't flow particularly well. I did mostly enjoy Revenge of the Sith, and it explained a lot.

Yes. But light sabers.
 
So we're in London for the wife's pre-op appointment. (Surgery is in the morning.) When it was over, she wanted to do something that didn't require walking. So we found a nearby theater, which ended up being an historic theater. It was cool but only had two options - Indiana Jones or Barbie. Pretty easy to decide.

My expectations were pretty low. The action scenes were cool, as one would expect, though laughably unrealistic. Harrison Ford was ok - just way too old for the role. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is annoying - wasn't impressed. The rest of the cast was fine.

I honestly didn't see the woke element. Yes, there was the line about stealing and capitalism, but that was one line and clearly made in jest. It was not a serious critique of capitalism. Didn't see any gay, trans, or blatant racial agenda pushed. Let's put it this way. Most big Hollywood movies nowadays are much worse.

Is it good? Not especially, but it's tolerable. I wouldn't go out of my way to see it, but if you have nothing else to see or do, it will suffice.
 
Well sitting in a theater in 114 weather wanting a mediocre film based on some really great films isn't a bad way to spend some time.
 
Well, it was mid-60s, rainy, and windy here. I wore a light jacket.
Hey, what happened to the European “heat waves” this summer due to global warming??? Note cooler weather starts in late August in Europe, so time is running out.

I get fear porn about heat waves coming almost everyday.

And yet here's the forecast for the next several days. By far the coolest summer I've ever had in my life.

I'm confused. Did you see Indiana Jones or Barbie?

Hope the wife is doing well.
 
"PragerU, a conservative nonprofit often criticized for downplaying systemic racism and promoting anti-immigrant theories, announced that Florida is the first state to officially approve PragerU as an educational vendor.

Here’s the first thing you need to know, slavery was not invented by white people,” said Candace Owens, PragerU."

No wonder libs are pissed!

Sorry bro. Wife and I are native Texans. Been to Londan, England, but not Londan, Texas. Did not know it existed. No disrespect. Probably need to check it out sometime. Heat is bad here too.
